TOY

Filed July 20, 1928 INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Dec. 10, 19 29 UNITED STATES KICHISABURO SAHARA, OF KAPAA, TERRITORY OF HAXVAII TOY Application filed July 20,

This invention relates to toys of the aerial projectile type.

An object of the invention comprehends a detent pin adapted to release the projectile.

Another object of the invention contemplates a spring and trigger construction adapted to influence the pin in different directions.

A further object of the invention consists of a combination release and cover plate adapted for use in conjunction with the pin to discharge the projectile.

With the above and other objects in View, the invention further consists of the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of the invention.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional View taken therethrough illustrating the spring and trigger construction adapted for connection with the pin.

Figure 3 is a top plan View of the invention.

Referring to the drawing in detail, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates the stock and 11 the barrel of theparticular toy gun, preferably constructed in one piece.

The invention resides in the provision of a pin 12 mounted for reciprocating action within a bore 13, obliquely and vertically disposed between the connection of the stock and barrel. By reason of the particular disposition of the bore 13, the uppermost end of the pin will be tilted forwardly, the purpose of which will be presently apparent.

A cut-out portion 14 within the upper side of the stock 10 is provided with a forwardly and downwardly inclined lower wall 15 against which the adjacent portion of a spring finger 16 may repose when shifted to occupy the position as best illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawing.

A cover plate 17, carried upon the stock 1928. Serial No. 294,264.

10 and enclosing the cut-out portion 14, terminates to provide, at its forward end, an arcuate-shaped upstanding flange portion 18 adapted to guide the pin 12 to occupy its respective positions and for other purposes which will be hereinafter apparent.

A trigger construction, embodying a finger engaging portion 19, projected within a cutout portion 20 in the underside of the stock 10, diametrically opposed to the cut-out portion 14, is provided with an offset portion 21 projected within the cut-out portion 20 and which terminates to provide a loop 22 adapted to receive a pivot pin 23 horizontally disposed within said cut-out portion. An arm 24, projected from the loop 22, is adapted to dispose its end within the adjacent side of the pin 12, after the manner of the spring finger 16.

The forward end of the barrel 11 is notched, as indicated at 25, to accommodate the forward looped end of an elastic band 26. The opposed loop of the band is passed around the rear portion of the pin 12 in the manner as best illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawing immediately above the flange 18.

It is noted from the construction of the invention in Figure 2 of the drawing, that the pin 12 is influenced in different directions.

In the use and operation of the invention, the band 26 is disposed, as illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawing. The finger engaging portion 19, depending from the trigger construction, is depressed to occupy the position as illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawing, whereby the pin 12 is shifted downwardly within the bore 13 against the tension of the spring finger 16. In such position, it is noted that the upper end of the pin 12 is finally disposed below the flange 18, whereby the latter, namely, the flange 18, will prevent the adjacent loop end of the band 26 from following the pin into the bore 13. When the aforementioned loop is released from the pin 12, the same will contract toward the forward looped end thereof and spring from the end of the barrel.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction, and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall Within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described the invention, What is claimed is 1. A toy gun having oppositely located cutout portions in the stock and a notched portion in the free end of the barrel therefor, a pin slidably 'mounted for reciprocating action Within the gun betweenthe cut-out portions, a spring mounted within one-of the cut-out portions having connection With the s pin to dispose the same to occupy an elevated position, a trigger pivotally mounted Withinthe remaining compartment for connection with the pin to shift the latter to occupy a released position, aco ver plate enclosingthe spring Within its respective cut-out portion, and an upstanding flange portionprojected from the cover plate being adapted to release a projectile from the adjacent end of the pin When the latter is called into use.

2. A toy gun having oppositely located cutout portions in the stock and a? notched portion in the free end of the barrel therefor, said stock having a bore disposed at right angles to and in communication With the cutout portions, a pin slidably mounted within the bore having notches, a spring mounted within one of the cut-out port-ions havingcofi-v nection at one end Within the adj a'cent'notch in the pin to normally retain samein an elevated position, a trigger pivotally mounted within another of the cut-out portions and engageable With said pin, and-a cover plate for the uppermost of the cut-out portions housing the spring.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
